Mrs. Casey was expecting her second child. Because she had atypical postpartum eclampsia during her first pregnancy, she chose to be cared for by a group of obstetricians who specialized in complicated obstetrical care. She delivered a healthy daughter during the 9th month of her pregnancy.   Mrs. Casey was expecting her second child. Because she had atypical postpartum eclampsia during her first pregnancy, she chose to be cared for by a group of obstetricians who specialized in complicated obstetrical care. She delivered a healthy daughter during the 9th month of her pregnancy. Shortly after delivery, she reported swelling in her hands and face, headaches, and visual change she associated with the postpartum symptoms she had experienced following the birth of her child 2 years earlier. One of the physicians authorized her to stay an additional day in the acute care setting for further evaluation, but she was dismissed when the hospital nursing staff said her insurance would not approve the additional hospital day. Three days later she presented to the emergency center with high blood pressure, severe headaches, and 4+ swelling in both of her lower extremities. She was admitted to the intensive care unit for treatment and was released 3 weeks after this second admission. She later filed a lawsuit for the early dismissal and the subsequent readmission. At trial level, the plaintiff’s attorney argued that the case had been timely filed, as the patient filed this lawsuit within 2 years after she was discharged from the intensive care unit stay. The defendants’ attorney countered that she had not timely filed the lawsuit, as it was filed more than 2 years after the initial discharge following the birth of her daughter. (Guido, p. 50) Questions: 1. How does the statute of limitations affect this case? 2. Is there evidence to support the claim that the statute of limitations barred Mrs. Casey’s case of action? 3. Is there evidence to support the plaintiff’s claim that the statute of limitations should not bar this action? 4. How would you decide this case? Use references from scholarly literature to support all postings. APA format required.

In Chapter 3, you learned about carbohydrates and the various classifications of this macromolecule. Carbohydrates are part of a basic diet yet many diet plans to lose weight recommend lower carbohydrate consumption. For this discussion post, analyze your current diet. Is your diet high or low in carbohydrates? Is your diet rich in protein? What do you believe is an ideal diet for a healthy lifestyle? Then compare. The visual and information from Healthy Eating Plate Link:(https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/healthy-eating-plate/)  suggest a universal guide for creating healthy meals that are also more sustainable in the long term.  How does this compare to your own diet? Do you consider this a reasonable dietary plan? Why or why not?

Respond to another classmate’s post. Remember to demonstrate more depth and thought than saying things like “I agree” or “You are ” Examples of quality posts include: providing additional information to the discussion, elaborating on previous comments from others, presenting explanations of concepts or methods to help fellow students, presenting reasons for or against a topic in a persuasive fashion, sharing your own personal experiences that relate to the topic, and Providing a URL and explanation for an area you researched on the Internet. This is the initial prompt. You do NOT have to respond to this, It’s only for providing more information:  “You supervise the release of information (ROI) section in the health information management department of an acute care hospital, which is also a Level II regional trauma center. Today the hospital received a subpoena duces tecum from an attorney, demanding either the originals or copies of all health records on Paul Johnson, who was allegedly a patient of the hospital. The ROI clerk came to you, unsure what to do. The subpoena lacks sufficient information for you to determine whether Mr. Johnson is (or was) a patient in the facility. Also, the subpoena was not accompanied by a valid authorization to release information for Mr. Johnson, as required in your state. How should you respond to the subpoena? Specifically address each of the following your initial response: (1) the steps that you should take, as the supervisor, to take to determine whether Mr. Johnson is or was a patient in the hospital; (2) how the organization should respond to the subpoena; and (3) what regulations apply to this request that could be used as justification in your response.”  I need only one paragraph. That’s all, just the one.  Basically, take what it says, agree or disagree, and explain why. Classmate 1: “In the steps as a supervisor, we would need to ensure that we have written consents from the patient, along with correct attached documentations. The provider needs to also ensure that we have allowed time for the patient to object to the subpoena. A valid HIPAA authorization form must also be used, we cannot allow any other form to be used and allow information to be released if it is NOT HIPAA requirements. Once we have all the ducks in a roll for the approval to release the information than we move on to the next step which is what is on the subpoena. If it is asking for specifics, only release the information requested ( unless it is a specially protected record), if it is a entire records request it is everything except specially protected records. If they are looking for the specially protected records we can only deliver that with judge or patient signed request. Ensure that you get the paperwork to the courts by the day they are requesting (some may be a.s.a.p). If a person is deceased same rules apply but the approval signature comes from a personal representative. Keep in mind that if the patient is in suit with the attorney that is requesting the information, there is no need for permission to release information.”

This activity is comprised of two parts. (100 points) (A two-page response is required for the combination of Parts A and B.) You work in a healthcare technology company that provides software technology to 100 hospitals throughout the United States. As a result, your software stores patient data for about 10 million patients across all of your customers. To better protect data, you’re working on a project to deploy encryption technology across all locations so that all customer data is encrypted. The data is segmented and stored in the following ways: Five million patient data records in Location A Two million patient data records in Location B Three million patient data records in Locations C The encryption project is about 30 percent complete, with Location C being the first to achieve full encryption. Data in this location, even if breached, can’t be viewed or understood by unauthorized individuals. Today, you learned that a breach happened on your network, and hackers were able to gain access to all three locations. Part A: Discuss the purpose of patient breach notifications and whether patient breach notification is required in this case. If so, how many notifications need to go out, and within what timeframe should they be sent? (50 points) Resources:>>>> US Department of Health and Human Services – Health Information Privacy US Department of Health and Human Services – Breach Notification Part B: Select one of the latest breaches reported to HHS in the following link, and draft a breach notification letter to send to those affected.
